Auto white balance? Purple would be the consequence of over-corrected green.

Yup, that could be it, but I don't notice it as much in the colour of the leaf. I'll fiddle with the settings in LR

Used to do quite the same when testing new lenses e.g. realizing that I need to remove dust around lol

Poussière de Soleil / Sun Dust

That's very creative, it does have a resemblance to an image of a (very active) sun, with flares and prominances rising from the edge.

Thanks !
Yes, that was the idea I had when I saw my test shot coming from the Irix 150mm macro

How does the Irix 150 compare to the Pentax A 200mm macro?

Can't tell at this moment, haven't had much the time to play with the A200 so far...

Here's a couple of recent ones with the 100 f/2.8 Macro. I'd been wanting to do a Dew on spider web for a long time. I finally had a chance and the right conditions.

Full frame and then a crop

Butterfly last fall with the Sigma 180 macro and the K-1. This is a heavy crop as well.

Found this little 5mm individual in a empty cool whip container. It remained still enough for a 32 image stack. Only the palps moved.

Image below is downsized from original 3840x2160 crop. Flash used, aperture f8. Used 1.4x F converter just to see. No real benefit over macro lens by itself.

Little Spider, 32 image stack

Very nice, Roger. There's an amazing amount of detail visible and the lighting is excellent. Thanks for sharing!
